Ok, ok, I've been busy!!!






I know everyone, blog progress has been absent recently. This is just a quick update on where I'm at, and I will have to fill in the detail properly later.
Having taken my friends caravan out to the French alps in December, we have tried to get out there as much as possible to make the most of the snow this season, we are going to pick it back up the weekend after brands hatch. Along with wanting to spend time with the family, I've realised I committed to too much, so will have to stop saying yes to everything!


It's been pretty busy at work, as we are so far behind, but that hasn't stopped me from making a few bits and peice for various cars in my lunch break. Today, I have just had a few sump plates lasered out, as my old one had split. We have made new ones out of thicker stock that should hopefully take more punishment.

The old split one...


Shiny new one...



 I've also done a ring gear for my mates kurtis 500, that has a Cadillac V8 in it.





 I am never making another one of those again...what a pig!! I was lucky enough to be taken to Silverstone for the day as payment for the ring gear, where FS racing were testing their freshly restored Chevron, I had another play with their Corvette, but it was mainly track time I had in the Fury that I needed.



 FS hired Mike Wilds for the day, and he took me out in my car to show me the lines of the circuit, my god can he drive, and I had never really appreciated the potential that my car has got. Apart from a bit of brake biasing, Mike said the car had great balance and grip. Me happy :-)
